Redefining the Impossible

Went on a quest to attack four towers. Wandered about, found a tower and worked my way to the top. On the way were some PvP NPC's level 60's, they weren't too hard to kill protection mode but I got no loot or experience from killing them and they turned my pvp flag on. I got to the top and my torch thing I was supposed to use to set fire to the tower didn't work. I consulted the quest log and observed that I was supposed to be attacking four disk Throwers. These were nearby, they look like large medieval war machines. The quest describes them as north, east, wouth and west but in fact they are roughly in a row. There were enemies all around them but I was able pick them off one at a time in protection mode using my agro radius to pull (an old trick). I only had to kill two or three baddies for each thrower. I got agro a couple of times from adds but as I was already in protection mode this wasn't a problem. How I vaccilate, I'm back in the protection mode part of the cycle.
-
Next quest was to take out an ogre boss in a house in a camp. I went into the camp, avoiding agro, into the house and most of the mobs were already dead. I met a tauren who was busy fighting so I ignored him (horde scum). I was assuming that the boss was already dead when I turned round and saw a enemy who was very much alive. I attacked him and as luck would have it he was the boss. He was a level 61 and he took some time to kill. He did some flashy knife waving thing every now and then which seemed to have no effect on me whatsoever (plate armour ftw).

When I turned this quest in it pushed me over the edge to level 60 so I headed for Ironforge and the ram dealer in Dun Muroch. I picked the white one, his name is snowy. He's not an elekk or a mechanostrider but he'll do. He's fast and I've fitted myself with mithril spurs and the carrot-on-a-stick for optimum speed. He seems very good at eluding monsters. I tried running very close to a level 54 and was dismounted so he's not perfect but he easily outran some bats in EPL.

I went to the paladin trainer where the were many things on offer for a level 60 but mainly next ranks. There were 'greater blessings' available which may be useful in raiding groups as they bless multiple group members of the same class for 15 minutes at a time.

I had read that there is a ghostly blacksmith near scholomance that has nice plans available but you have to do some quests from some woman nearby to see him. I went up there and could only find the woman who invites you to raid scholomance itself. I googled and sure enough I am supposed to do scholomance to get a trinket to see the ghostly blacksmith. Forget it. BTW level 50 Sorrow Hill ghouls are now grey (no experience to be had killing them).

Another pally guildie has 'Linken's Boomerang' which is one of the few ways there is for a pally to get a ranged attack. Deeply envious, this is now my latest project. I've googled it to trace back the long quest chain and I've started off from the wreckage of a boat in un'goro crater. I'm typing this while flying to Everlook, this quest seems to need lots of travel and I'm glad I'll be doing it on an epic mount.

Was fiddling in the key bindings settings, looking to map the 'flip camera' function for some screenshots and narcissistic posturing when I noticed the key bindings for the action bars. It was very easy to map the # key to mount/unmount, semi-colon to cleanse and all the other odd things I use all the time. The icons on the action bar even show the mapped key, my ram icon has a # in the corner. Very handy.

Woohoo! Ranged at 56. I'm terribly interested in "Linken's Boomerang". You say that it's a long quest chain.. but I could only find two.

Am I missing something?
